First let me say that the only cornus mas I am familiar with is the one
they use in many old gardens around Cincinnati. They all seem the same. I
have heard people rave about the fruit. To me its just this sour red fruit. I
have even picked them off the ground having a dark red bing cherry color.
They are still sour. Are the cultivars better tasting. Is cooking when they
come into there own. Do they transform into a whole different beast when
cooked like serviceberry. I am just trying to love them.
Are there varieties that have brighter yellow flowers?

Mark
